Millerton - Creating

Lily of the Valley

In the early spring, on the shady side of our yard, there is a huge patch of Lily of the Valley.

The white bell-shaped flowers (which also come in pink) cluster on a small stem and hide under their large green leaf.

The fragrance from these small flowers is soft and delicate. Pick a handful and put them in your home and you will be shocked at how their sweet clean scent fills the air.

We are also fortunate to have this lovely wild columbine. While it may not have a perfume, it's flowers and foliage are lovely.

With the rock wall backdrop, these columbine stand nearly two feet tall.
